Chapter 16 - Chapter 16

 Nelly pov 

After a few days of hard work, everyone was all set with their new upgrades and were excited to test them out during the trip. After long, careful consideration, we decided to hit over to sunny California and make reservations at the holiday Inn Once we get to L.A. true it was still winter but it's like summertime all year round even in the winter and would be nice to hit the waves🌊 and trips on the boardwalk. Plus, I thought this would be a great way to celebrate Danny's 17th birthday by taking an enjoyable trip with family and friends. Also, according to Freddy, due to their programming, they were never able to step outside the perimeter of the plex, so they knew nothing nor experience things in the outside world. 

" So, any ideas on how we're getting there "? Monty asked. "I gotcha guys covered " Charlie said immediately. "All those with bikes will take the bikes🏍" "true" I replied. " just make sure there's enough funds for supplies for the trip " Eddie suggested. " now the question is when's the trip and how soon do we start packing " Roxanne stated. "Well, to get from Delaware to California, that's like a three day trip by bus or car, so that depends on how soon everyone wants to go " Eddie replied. 

" then it's settled, the sooner we start prepping and packing, the sooner we'll head out " I said. Everyone went to their rooms and started packing for the trip. The glam rocks made sure they packed and brought what they needed, then Charlie met up with us at the plex with a huge rv/mechanic shop on wheels type bus which is perfect between the bikes and the animatronics should either need fixing, we have everything we need. Then we headed towards me and Charlie's apartments to gather our luggage as well. Then we were off down the road on the way to California. Monty, Charlie, Vinnie, throttle, Modo and I took the bikes🏍 while Eddie, lily, Danny, foxy 🦊, mangle, Roxy, Chica, Freddy, purr, Bonnie, and meowlody rode in the bus. 

So we drove through Virginia, north and south Dakota, past Montana and Nevada all the way to Sacramento. We then pulled in and checked into the holiday Inn. Thankfully, we had enough funds to cover renting the biggest suite they had to offer which was the pent house suite. It contained a master bedroom, three guests rooms with two beds per guest room, decent sized kitchen/dining room, large living room with a awesome beach 🏖 view, the couches were able to convert into beds with still enough walk space. The bathroom was decently large enough to cover everyone's needs as far as breathing space means. 

Eddie, Danny, throttle and Modo took the living room couch beds, lily bunked with Roxy and Chica in the guest room closest to the master bedroom, Vinnie Charlie foxy 🦊 and mangle took the second guest room next to the girl only room, while Freddy, Bonnie, purrsephone and meowlody took the guest room closest to the living room, so that pretty much left Monty and I the master bedroom. " So, now that everyone's got their spots, who's hungry "? Eddie asked. "We are "! Everyone called out. "So, I guess pizza 🍕 for all" Eddie suggested. So, we ordered from Mateo's pizza for dinner. Monty ordered his usual, I ordered mine, cheese for Charlie, lily, Danny, Chica, and Eddie. Chili dogs for throttle, Modo and Vinnie, pepperoni for Freddy, Bonnie, mangle, Roxy and foxy 🦊 and anchovies for purrsephone and meowlody. For drinks, there was dr pepper, 🍒 dr pepper, blackberry dr pepper and lemonade for lily. 

Soon, when everyone had finished, we all sat down in the living room to discuss our plans for the week. Roxy, meowlody and purrsephone called shopping 🛒, Freddy wanted to explore the town, foxy 🦊, mangle, Monty, Bonnie and the kids called Beach 🏖 day/amusement park, Charlie, the mice, Eddie and I were up for anything. "Hey" Monty suddenly called out " while we're here, can we visit Disney land"? "Sure" I said "why you ask"? " ya'h know the gator from the princess and the frog flick"? He asked. " You mean Louis "? Lily asked. " Yeah, that's tha one, lil lady, would like t'a meet him " he said. 

I couldn't help but found it cute and funny that he was becoming a fan of a fictional character and a gator at that. " Sounds fun, you know I have never been to Disney land myself either " I said. "Really "? Monty asked. "Yeah " I replied. " I wanna go too, mommy "! Lily pleaded in excitement. "Well, I guess we're gonna have a fun, busy week" I sighed happily. "Yay"! Lily squealed with joy as she reached in her bag to grab her princess Tiana dress 👗, crown 👑, and shoes. " you must be very excited to bring your princess 👸 gear with us " Eddie replied with a smile. "Uh-huh, Tiana is one of my favorites along with Merida, Elsa and Ariel " lily replied in turn. 

"You know lily, my favorite princess had always been snow white " Chica chimed in. "Really "? Lily asked curiously. " yeah " Chica replied back happily. " What about you "? She asked the rest of the girls present in the living room. " I'd say both Mulan and Merida " Roxanne replied. "Definitely Ariel hands down " mangle stated. "Undecided " both meowlody and purrsephone said. "I agree with Roxy both Mulan and Merida kick ass"! Charlie replied. "What about you, mommy "? Lily asked. 

"There's so many different amazing princesses it's tough to choose, but if I were to choose , I'd have a total of seven of my top favorites" I replied. "Who are they " lily pressed further. " yeah, Nelly, tell us who's your favorite and why "? Chica and the others all asked in unison. "Well, starting at #7,Mulan since just like her ,I used to study martial arts in my teens ,#6 Merida because we both like archery 🎯 and horseback riding, #5 Tiana because she loves to bake and cook,#4 Rapunzel because loves art we have that in common,#3 Ariel because we love exploring, singing and swimming, #2 belle because she and I love to reading #1 is a secret" " aww , tell us)) who's #1 , mommy " lily and the others pressed on."I'll tell you tomorrow " I said. " besides the longer we stay up, the more tired we'll be before sunrise 🌅, so we may try to get some rest for tomorrow's adventure " "Aye, true to that, lassie, we better be hitting our hammocks and sleep a bit " foxy 🦊 said in turn. The children then went to go prepare for bed time along with the rest of the gang then soon we all hit the hay and called it a night. 

 The next day 

 Charlie pov 

Vinnie and I along with foxy 🦊 and mangle woke up to the smell of breakfast, as the four of us were exiting out of our room, we walked into the dining room and noticed on the table plates of scrambled eggs 🥚, French toast, waffles, pancakes 🥞, hash browns, turkey bacon 🥓 , fruit and yogurt with glasses of orange juice, apple juice, cranberry juice and pineapple 🍍 juice. We were all mind blown by the selections, " room service "? I asked. "Yep" Eddie replied as he stepped into the dining room from the living room. "Apparently as we stay here, we get free complimentary breakfast " he said. " Awesome " Bonnie said as he, Freddy, meowlody and purrsephone stepped in as well. "I definitely could go for a hearty breakfast " Modo replied. 

"I could use some grub " Monty stated as he, Nelly, Chica, Roxanne and lily came out of their rooms. After breakfast, we all gathered around to discuss today's plans. Then we all decided to start with shopping 🛒 at the mall in Beverly hills, the girls went to shop for all the girlish essentials including new threads and styles to try on and purchase especially swimwear in case we decided to hit the beach 🏖 over in Santa Monica before noon 🕛. Monty seemed to have his eyes on a piercing parlor, the rest of the guys did their own thing between checking out the clothing stores, video game stores and the different foods in the food court. Soon as we've finished our shopping, we traveled straight towards the beach 🏖, the guys went to setup a spot on the beach 🏖 for us to have lunch, relax and enjoy the warm sunshine while us girls including lily went to the ladies' room on the boardwalk to change into our swimwear. 

Chica wore a two piece similar in color and style to her original glam rock outfit, Roxy wore a two piece all red with black stars on them, purrsephone wore a tie tankini white with black tiger stripes with a neon green paw print on them while her sister meowlody wore one identical to her sister's with electric blue paw print , mangle wore a pink, white and black two piece with crossbones on them, lily wore a Disney princess themed whole piece suit, Nelly wore a playboy neon green gator print string tankini with purple strings and a purple mini skirt with matching wedge saddles and I wore a playboy red and black checkered tankini. We all stepped out of the ladies' room, we made our way towards the beach 🏖 to meet the guys and on our way back, we ran into a familiar face we'd hope we didn't have to see. "Well, well, well, surprise, surprise " Phil said snidely. "What are you doing here, jackass"?! Nelly stated in anger. "Relax, I'm just on a trip as well and on a date " he said with a dirty smirk on his face. 

"You on a date, please don't make me laugh " I retorted in. Then out of nowhere, comes Vanessa walking towards all of us throwing her arms around him acting all flirtatiously with him. Let me tell you, we all had a hard time processing what we were witnessing. "Ladies, I'm sure you all remember Vanessa from work "? He said with a insincere charmed smile on his face. I could tell something was off about this and I was going to get to the bottom of it. "Sorry but using a fellow co worker to try to woe me over isn't going to work out so well for you " Nelly replied. "Me"? "Using her"?! He said pretending to sound offended. "Come on ladies, there's finer schools of fish then dealing with this boring fishbowl "! Meowlody stated as she bared her fangs at the two of them. " calm yourself, sister " purrsephone replied in turn. 

So we resumed our way to the beach where we found the guys with a spot on the beach 🏖 for us to have lunch, play volleyball, listen to music and hitting the waves and rays awaiting for us all to partake in and enjoy. As soon as we stepped onto the beach 🏖 in view of the guy's paratheal view ,we couldn't help but find humor as we took a glance of the expressions on the men's faces because man, Jaws were dropping as quickly as bird droppings. "Avast me maties, it's a lagoon of fine sea maidens " foxy 🦊 stated playing off cooly. "You mean mermaids 🧜‍♀️ "?Eddie replied. "Yarr, still the point " foxy 🦊 replied back. " ya'h said it, captain " Monty chimed in. "It's true " Vinnie voiced in. 

"None of the less, we appreciate the compliment, boys "I replied with a wink in turn. Vinnie and the other non-single men flushed red in their cheeks at the statement. " whoo, hoo, hoo"! Throttle, Modo, Danny and Eddie hooted with laughter. "So, what shall we do first "? Nelly asked. " a swim sure sounds great " Danny said and with that we all started preparing to hit the water. "We're gonna get things prepared for lunch while you ladies get set up and we'll meet you in the water 💦 " throttle suggested. "Be right back " Monty and Vinnie said as they blew kissed me and Nelly before turning to leave. 

As soon as the boys were out of sight, I gathered all the girls together and said "alright ladies, remember what we talked about earlier " "yeah " we all replied. And with that, we pulled out our shopping bags 🛍 and threw on our "swim gear" and waited for the boys to return in the water 💦.
